"Flawless" isn't flawless (what movie is, besides "The Big Lebowski"?) and it really doesn't have a lot to do with the titular drag-queen contest, not even thematically, or not enough to draw an unforced comparison anyway.
The reason you want to see it is something you would, in an ideal world, find out about by surprise, but I also want droves of people to run out and rent "Flawless," so here's five words: Philip. Seymour. Hoffman. In. Drag. There's no way to gush properly about this movie without that. And without it, it would probably sound like a Tim Allen summer buddy comedy, with a full quota of fart jokes, explosions, cute animals and scrumptious 20-something it-girls with fake boobs and real eating disorders hitting on polo shirted panzónes like, well, Tim Allen.
